"but that feels wrong to write, as someone who very selectively cares about grammar only when it will inconvenience people i think should be inconvenienced about it like you, making such a childish claim as to ask your name to be properly spelled"

tough

i'm far from the first sentient being with a lowercase name and i deserve the same care and recognition

maple "mavica" syrup is lowercase yes even if you're starting a sentence with it

nobody spelled it "Iphone" just because it was at the start of a sentence

none of us are equal in the eyes of cis society until not a single trans girl has starved or been raped or murdered for a long time, there is no assimilating that will save you and keep you safe forever, and sooner or later the only allies you will have are other trans women, and we will remember how you sided with the people who see us as vermin, as predators. and what precious little charity we have will rightfully be saved for our sisters who linked arms with us, not against us

sure, i guess it's not my place to police what media you enjoy, and i couldn't care less about whatever 'breadtube is' but if you go ahead and pretend like she isn't a member of a class that is directly oppositional to us poor girls who risk not eating for long spells due to unemployment, disability, mental illness, you're not welcome around me

getting extremely sick of seeing other trans women getting excited about contrapoints as if she isn't the most 'f*ck you got mine' assimilationist on the planet who has happily sold the poor trannies who can't make rent or meds without begging online out for the chance to be that pretty thin white woman on the internet peddling disguised right wing talking points under bisexual lighting.

Disabled people in the UK have had a hard day (the government is stepping up its attempts to social murder us again), maybe give them a bit of cash to buy a pizza or pay a bill or something, people could sure use something nice happening to them now.

In fact if you're a disabled person in the UK and you need mutual aid right now, put your links here and I'll boost them. :disabled_heart:

Fedi-meta, confusion 

@Kuniti_shino the gimp suit in reference to sexuality is directly taken from gimp, a slur for those of us so heavily disabled as to be completely immobile. Gimp in a sexual context is taking a slur as a name for a sexual activity
